(One would have written Meeùs in old HTML entities for older charachters encodings.)
Modified 28-11-2019 as 0.91 for the position of the command
to install in new versions of LibreOffice.
Modified 21-5-2020 (the XML export filter) as 0.92 to allow five columns nl-BE, fr-BE, de-DE, en-GB, es-ES.
(Originally two columns only.)
Updated to version 0.99 on 12-9-2022 by Philippe Tourigny (kazephil@gmail.com) to reflect the addition of new functionality and changes to the limitations.

The TMX-filters software provides two XSLT filters
to import or export TMX translation memories
to and from LibreOffice (or OpenOffice.org).
Installation
============
The package TMX-filters-vx_y.jar has to be installed in LibreOffice
by the standard dialog from the menu Tools,
Macros > XML Filter Settings…
[or just XML Filter Settings… in older versions]
Click the button Open Package… and browse to the package.
Limitations
===========
For the export filter, enter the appropriate language code in each column of the first row. The source language must be entered in column A, and the target language in column B is used as the administrative language for the translation memory. If you wish to use an administrative language other than one of your target languages, you will have to edit either the resulting TMX file or the code of the filter.
The import filter assumes that all <tu> elements in the file have the same number of languages, in the same order, and retrieves the language code from the <tuv> elements in the first <tu>. This means that importing a TMX containing <tu> elements with more <tuv> elements than others will result in some rows having additional entries in a column without a header, and with some languages entered in the wrong column.
Feel free to e-mail us if you think of a way to improve this.
Use
===
— To read a TMX in LibreOffice Calc: File, Open…
— To produce a TMX: sentences aligned in two or more columns in LibreOffice Calc,
File, Save as… and choose type TMX (likely all the way down a long list).
